Why oh why

Sooo practising in the nets tonight, some guy belts the ball back at me, i stick out a hand to stop the ball hitting me in the chest and as a result I have now completed only one season without breaking my left thumb :!( :!( :!(

Are you left-handed?

No?

Nothing to worry about then. You can still bowl. Field at fine leg, use your bottom hand only for batting - there you go. Matthew Hoggard Mk. II.

I may not have broken my bones alot (I drink alot of milk) but you will find it hard to beat this story:

At the Age of four after breaking my arm from jumping off a big 'mock' boat at the kindergarden playground I had my arm in a cast for several months. The night of getting my cast off my parents took me to Hungry Jack's (Burger King) to celebrate getting my cast off. After finishing my meal I proceeded to play in the play area. After several minutes of playing my father said it was time to go home, I asked for one more turn on the slippery slide and was granted that wish from my father. In my haste to get another go on the slide, I slipped on the tiles and broke my arm in the very same spot!

The color of immortality, nature and envy - you are truly a unique person. While clearly the color of nature, you also symbolize rebirth, fertility and hope in the world. On the other side of the spectrum, a natural aptitude to money with green coming to signify money and possibly even *********!

now that is just cruelty at its worst. how unlucky could you be. was it cause it hadnt repaired properly or was it just pure unluckiness?

Earlier this season i broke the head of 5 meta carpel (spelling) in 3 spots. was spose to be out of cricket for at least 6 weeks as it was my right hand, bowling catching ect. But i recovered fast and was back out there with it still half broken, heavilly taped after 3 weeks. Lost all confidence, wasnt too keen on hitting rising balls in case it happened to hit my hand.
